  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

does it shift and run ok with no weird noises? if so, i would keep running it. otherwise you will have to tear it all apart and check everything..
 
The bike run and shift good with no strange noises. I have planing to split the cases in winter and check everything then.
Thanks for the reply.
 
When i push the shaft in to the left side i feel heavy friction between gears and shift forks when shifting. The gears almost lock. :confused:
 
Hi, i split the cases tonight and found missing washer between left case and 1st gear on secondary shaft.
the washer must be here between this gear DSCN2595.JPG and this needle bearing DSCN2599.JPG and have number 25 in service manual. Image1.jpg Image5.jpg

I have measured 0.8mm axial clearance on the shaft without this washer, what is recommended clearance for this shaft to know what is the true thickness of the washer and what material will be it.
 
And if i can use this thread to show you my piston and cylinder to tell what you think about it. DSCN2575.JPG DSCN2576.JPGDSCN2580.JPGDSCN2579.JPG
 
sounds like you got lucky with the bottom end, i have no idea how that shim could come out tho. very weird
piston looks pretty good to me. no blow by past the rings. i suppose you could check ring gap if you wanted to but looks good
 
does perhaps look like theres alot of carbon on the piston crown...could be from low speed operation, alot of trails, slightly rich jetting, or oil choice. if it doesnt foul plugs and runs good i wouldnt worry about it. if you are going to reuse that piston it would be wise to remove all the carbon
 
Yes, the pilot jet is little rich. I will check the ring gap and use this piston. But i can not find the washer for the shaft, the size is 20/30mm and maybe 0.75 or 0.8mm thick. I only found 20/35/1mm thrust washer and plan to gring it to proper thickness, i do not have any other ideas.
 
try contacting halls husqvarna. the shims are used to "match" a gearset to a set of engine cases, so they come in different sizes. if you look at some of the 6 speed swap threads on here there is some discussion about it. maybe even a member or two here that have some extras. im kinda surprised thats all thats wrong tho. halls probably has your trannsmission bearings and anything else you would need. being in europe, you may have a dealer like this.
 
I'm am only telling you my opinion that piston is wasted , do your top end. You will be way happier for it. Cyl looks a bit scuffed as well, mike it for roundness and dia. and maybe as some do give it super lite hone (yes even on "chrome" cylinders).
 
^^^ Agree.

If in doubt measure the piston skirt, but I'd be surprised if you weren't up for a piston kit based off your barrel measurements.
